I've Been Sleeved!

I started dieting during my pre-approval stage doing 80 grams of a protein and low carb and I walked, did the gazelle and did some light weight lifting and I lost 70 and since the surgery on June 4th I lost 20. I am going to be 49 years old so I am worried about the excess skin, but so far so good. I have yo-yo'd 200-300 for about 12 years. I once went from 330 - 128 but I exercised hard core, jogging 10 miles, lifting weights, The Firm, step-aerobics etc, but I was 33 at the time. I eventually gained all the weight back after getting sick 5 years later.

I'm hoping that I can tone up and be fit at 49 but I have Lupus now and other issues and I know that I will not be able to work out like I did before. So far so good though - 90 pounds, but I have about 80 something more to go.

Good luck to you.
